thats great…..i was wanting to use less Agava.,i'm not sure its a healthy choice….
…..and i think the dates have a great flavor……it's amazing how quickly my taste buds are ajusting….. to a more healthier choice
my daughter has always used dates and i really never liked them…until i got more into raw …and now i am hooked

thanks this is awesome ive been looking for an alternative to agave…i read in dr mercola's website agave is atleast as bad as high fructose corn syrup if not worse ;-/ because of the way its processed! plus agave is not raw it is cooked above 140degrees.

This is great! I live in Honduras and can't find agave or maple syrup. Thank you! Ruth

Hi Russell, I enjoyed this video. Whilst I have been making a similar date/water combo to use as a sweetener it has never looked like yours. Seeing how lovely your mixture turned out convinced me that the vita-mix blender has to be added to my shopping list as I move closer to a raw food diet. Thank you for your clear instruction.

Thanx Russell, have been going around this area with different schools of thought on raw food sweeteners for awhile, as in raw or not, love the medjool :), use them as sweeteners but this way didn't twig so thanx again for a simple solution.
